Recipe: How to Make the Perfect Berry Blush Spritz

Everything You Need to Know About the Berry Blush Spritz

The Berry Blush Spritz is our version of the definitive romantic refresher for Valentine's Day. This cocktail focuses on the clean, botanical crispness of dry gin and the bright acidity of fresh lemon juice. Sweetened lightly with simple syrup and elevated by the delicate aroma of rose water, the drink is brought to life by the effervescence of sparkling rosé. It is light, fizzy, and carries a soft pastel hue that looks stunning under candlelight. Whether you're celebrating with a partner or hosting a "Galentine’s" brunch, this spritz provides a sophisticated alternative to the classic glass of champagne.

Instructions

Combine the dry gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and rose water in a shaker with ice.
Shake briefly to chill—the goal is to keep the drink crisp without over-diluting.
Strain into a chilled wine glass or champagne flute.
Top with the Dry Sparkling Rosé. The pink bubbles will create a beautiful, layered gradient.
Give it one very gentle stir to integrate the flavors and add your garnish.

Pro Tip

For a more dramatic presentation, use an "ice spear" frozen with tiny edible flowers inside. As the ice melts, it slowly releases the florals into the drink, enhancing the aroma as the evening progresses.

Berry Blush Spritz Riff

Try the Blush Negroni and swap the sparkling rose for 1 oz of Lillet Rose. This removes the bubbles and transforms the drink into a spirit-forward, bittersweet aperitivo that’s perfect for a slow-sipping dinner course.
